Adirondacks

Greetings from Lake George!
I've been living the life of leisure with my Cousins, Aunt and Uncle for the last week, swimming in the lake, boating and loafing around reading.  After a 5 day stretch of 450+ miles a day through the American Heartland, I slept for a day and a half and feel relaxed and refreshed.

After my return from Alaska, I spent a couple of days with my buddy Eric in the hills outside Denver.  We took a little hike up Mt Evans to almost 12000ft!

The Dalmata

A little trickery with the Panorama Cam..

Lake George is a beautiful lake up in the Adirondack Mountains.  A lot of boating, swimming and ham mocking...

The Arrival

Cousins hanging out..

Tomorrow off to New Hampshire for the weekend and then the final ride to the Atlantic Ocean....

A little ride video from the trip. I'm still working on my editing skillz....

North! To Alaska!

Hello from Grinnell Iowa, the heartland of America.  The scent of Cow shit and fertilizer wafts through my nostrils. Aaaaah Freedom!
Been a while...Last we spoke I was leaving my bike with my old college friend from Alfred, Eric, in Evergreen CO, just outside Denver.   After a night of reconnecting and partying I was off to Sitka AK to see Dad.

First night had a nice sunset.

The Bay outside the cabin

Cooking is a serious business up here.  Every night a different meal production.  Steak night with beer battered onions, roasted potatoes.

A little Conga drums with my cousin Jürgen who flew in from Germany to help with work on the cabin

Chillin' on the deck...

Crab Night...

We (Jürgen) caught a Salmon..

Two chefs debating the best course of action

This is the salmon heart.  See how fresh?  Also some eggs.  Don't watch if you're squeamish!

Totem Pole in Sitka.  Lots of old Tlingit Totem Poles in the Park

Boating through town.  Sherry likes that boat..
